According to reporters' records during recent heavy rains, streets that are frequently flooded in Vinh City include: Lenin Avenue, 72-meter road, Truong Thi, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Phong Dinh Cang, Le Hong Phong, Hong Bang...
For example, Le Nin Avenue is a major street in Vinh City, however, it is often flooded during prolonged heavy rains, the most serious of which is the section from Vinh Airport intersection to Nghe An General Hospital and the section from the intersection with Nguyen Sy Sach Street to the customs roundabout.
By noon on November 13, the water on some roads had receded, however, on Le Nin Avenue, near the Vinh airport intersection, the water was still frozen. According to research, the drainage system on Le Nin Avenue is connected to the North Canal. In 2021, Vinh City invested in 4 more discharge outlets on this route, however, due to heavy rainfall, the collection pits are often clogged with garbage and leaves, leading to very slow drainage.
Faced with that situation, Vinh City has a plan to divide the drainage basin on Le Nin Street. Accordingly, instead of draining along a fixed route from National Highway 46 to the North Canal, the city will renovate an additional drainage line running along the 24-meter planned road (next to Hospital 115) to Nghi Phu regulating lake. Drainage will be faster when there are 2 drainage lines operating in parallel.
Similar to Lenin Avenue, the 72-meter road is also one of the frequently flooded roads in Vinh City. Nghi Phu Commune authorities said that the 72-meter road is located in a low-lying area, so water from other areas flows here. Although the drainage system has been connected to Lenin Avenue, due to poor drainage on Lenin Street, the water on the 72-meter road is also constantly congested.
Phong Dinh Cang Street, running along Hung Dung, Ben Thuy, Truong Thi wards..., is flooded every time it rains heavily. Ben Thuy Ward authorities said that the locality has repeatedly requested the city, departments, and construction units to upgrade the drainage system on this street, but it has not been implemented yet.
Meanwhile, roads such as Nguyen Van Cu, Nguyen Tai, Ho Tung Mau, Le Duan, Quang Trung, Le Mao, Tran Phu... still ensure good drainage during recent heavy rains.
A representative of Vinh City Project Management Board said: From 2022 to now, Vinh City has focused on upgrading and improving the drainage system on many roads such as Duy Tan, Le Hoan, Le Duan, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, Hong Bang, Nguyen Van Cu (section from Le Hong Phong to Nguyen Sy Sach...).
Some routes are being renovated, including Nguyen Thi Minh Khai (from the Devil's Triangle roundabout to Le Loi Street), Le Hong Phong Street... for Phong Dinh Cang Street, there is currently a project and construction has not yet begun. For the 72-meter routes and Le Nin Avenue, the province and city will continue to upgrade and renovate the drainage system on these two major routes.
"In addition to the weather factor, the current situation is that some water drainage routes are slow because the mouths of the collection pits are blocked by garbage and leaves... Therefore, on days of heavy rain, the environmental company, urban infrastructure company, wards and communes and the people join hands to collect garbage at the collection pits, the flood water will drain faster...", Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Phong - Director of Vinh City Project Management Board said.
